What is Homer Pro?

HOMER Pro is a microgrid optimization and feasibility software developed by HOMER Energy (now part of UL Solutions). It is used for designing and analyzing hybrid renewable energy systems, including on-grid and off-grid applications. It helps users determine the optimal combination of energy resources (solar, wind, hydro, batteries, generators, grid power, etc.) to minimize costs and emissions while meeting specific load requirements. It simulates the operation of the system over a year, considering factors such as weather data, equipment costs, load profiles, and utility rates, to provide detailed economic and technical analysis.
